The weather is getting nicer, and spring break and festival season are almost here.

And of course, it’ll be more expensive to travel this year than in previous year. With rising travel prices on everything from gas prices to airline tickets, it’s nice to find clever ways to save money however you can.

Whether you plan to travel or stay home for spring break or will be traveling to a music festival this year, earbuds are a great addition to your tech gear. If you don’t have room in the budget for the more expensive, noise-canceling earbuds like Airpods, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds or Beats Power Beats Pro, you can get a decent pair of in-ear headphones for less than $25.

Soundcore by Anker P20i headphones are a solid choice for budget shoppers, and they’re on sale for $19.99. As one Amazon shopper put it, “They fit perfectly and the sound quality is amazing.”

If you’re looking for earbuds that won’t fall out, these comfortable earbuds are designed to stay put during your commute and your workout. They offer up 30 hours of playtime in the charging case, and 10 hours on a single charge.

The earbuds feature 10mm dynamic drivers to deliver rich, well-balanced sound. Bluetooth 5.3 technology helps ensure a stable connection for clear, skip-free music, and the earbuds are fast charging (10 minutes gets 90 minutes of play time).

These true wireless earbuds are outfitted with AirWings with a hollow, silicone build that deflates and conforms to the shape and size of your ears. The earbuds have an IPX5 waterproof rating, which means that they can handle rain and workout conditions, but they’re not designed for showering or swimming, and you don’t want to wear them in a sauna or a stream room.

You can pair them with your iPhone or Android for a perfectly immersive listening experience, while you travel to your spring break destination.

If you’re looking for earbuds under $20, the Toxo A1 Mini wireless buds are 50% off at Amazon, which drops the price down to $15.29.

Like Soundcoare, Tozo earbuds are equipped with Bluetooth 5.3, sound isolation, noise cancellation and are IPX5-rated, but they offer less battery time (six hours compared to 10 hours; 24 hours in the charing case).
